Chapter 142: The long-awaited showdown
Varro really feels like a spectator now, and he's the best in the infield.
The two battles were solved by Zhang Heng alone, and the process was very fast, compared to the first one, which ended the battle instantly, the opponent in the second battle was much more vigilant when he found that they had already won the victory.
But it's useless, and caution can't change anything when the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, this is still the reason why Zhang Heng put a little water and let Varro also move a little, otherwise the latter is really a veritable audience.
Even so, his opponent didn't last long, and Varro found himself on a two-game winning streak, while Nashica's team, the favourites in the twelve-man melee on the other side, were still battling with their opponents.
After the unexpected victory in the first round, more and more viewers began to notice the two gladiators in this group, of course, strictly speaking, the vast majority of people paid attention to Zhang Heng.
After discovering that they still won the second round of the battle easily, an exclamation finally broke out in the audience, and they began to inquire about Zhang Heng's origins.
This also made Makruz feel extremely painful, and the gladiator school didn't have any preparations for this, and in the end, those curious viewers still found the answer from the battle schedule that was distributed earlier.
And then the battle on Nashika's side finally came to an end, his opponent was directly judged to be unable to fight again, and the audience also showed their understanding of the loser for the first time this time, and did not ask to kill the two seriously injured gladiators, so that they were dragged down for treatment.
The main thing is that everyone is anxious to see what will happen to Naxika's group against Zhang Heng's group.
The former is the star of the Victor Arena and has a large number of fans, while the latter is a newcomer standing in the arena for the first time, and no one has seen him perform in gladiatorial performances before, and he is full of mystery.
But that was only five minutes ago, after winning two games in a row in a hurry, Zhang Heng finally gained his first fans, and there are many women, especially some noble ladies, who seem to be quite interested in this black-haired, black-eyed, exotic and quiet Oriental.
And now these new "fans" of Zhang Heng have begun to cheer for their favorite gladiators, including some virtuous and gentle ladies who are usually on the street and at home, but now they are like a different person, rolling up their sleeves and constantly greeting Zhang Heng's opponent Nashika with dirty words.
Zhang Heng can also feel how important a gladiatorial performance is to the Romans, it is said that the popularity of Sisnatus at its peak is a hundred times crazier than now, no wonder Makruth takes the matter of finding the next Sisnatus so seriously.
And now the master of the gladiator school is also looking at Zhang Heng with great interest, he is different from Gabi, many people say that he is a person who does not miss the old love and is ruthless, but this is not right, Makrus just does not miss the old love for people who have no use value, and is ruthless, but he has always been full of warmth for valuable assets that can bring him money, especially those gold mines full of great value.
Gabi may be unhappy because Zhang Heng concealed his strength before, but Mark Ruz will not, just like when he found out that his daughter was cheating on Sisnatus, not only did he not reprimand Sisnatus, but also pretended not to know.
People who don't know him will think that Makruz is extraordinary, but Gabi, who has been with Makruz for decades, knows a lot of things that others don't know, and when Sisnatus announced that he was ready to retire and the gladiator school arranged the final battle for him, Makruz asked Gabi in private, thinking that it was better to let Sisnatus leave the arena safely with his legendary story, or let him finally die on the battlefield.
Gabby only felt a cold sweat on his back at that time, Sisnatus has made a lot of contributions to the Victor Arena over the years, and has also earned a lot of money for Makrus, but Makruz has no feelings for Cisnatus at all, he still starts from income and value as always.
This is Makruz, an absolute supremacist of interests.
Because of this, he now looks at how Zhang Heng looks and how pleasing to the eye, and he can also do a lot of things about the origin and mystery of the latter.
Why didn't Makrus notice this before, it's very simple, because the gladiatorial performance packaging is just a means, strength is the root of everything, there will be no packaging without strength, and packaging plus strength, a gladiatorial star is born.
Makruz was still thinking about how to pack Zhang Heng, but the battle on the other side had already begun.
Nashika was surprised and delighted when he first saw Varro and Zhang Heng, and when the first round of battle arrangements was confirmed, he thought that he would never have a chance to teach these two rampant newcomers a lesson, but the opportunity to turn his head came again, but when he heard the referee say that they were the only two remaining winners, he also noticed that something was wrong.
Nashika is not stupid, he quickly realized that the two rookies in front of him are likely to hide their strength, and being able to win two victories in such a short period of time has said a lot of things in itself, even if he can't do it, but Nashika is not too afraid, he is still quite confident in his strength.
It's just that the combat experience he has accumulated over the years in the Victor Arena is not comparable to the two opposites.
Just when he was thinking about how to do it, what he didn't expect was that Zhang Heng, who was opposite, spoke first, and the latter asked, "Are you ready?" ”
"Ready for what?" Nashika asked subconsciously.
However, Zhang Heng didn't answer again, just said, "Don't worry, it will be over soon." ”
After saying that, he moved first, but Nashika didn't mind checking Zhang Heng's color a priori, so he also raised the big shield in his left hand and put on a defensive posture.
And this has become the decision he regrets the most in this battle.
Of course, what he didn't expect was that this was the only decision he could make in this fight.
The next moment, Zhang Heng's figure had already appeared in front of Nashika, Zhang Heng used the knife drawing technique he learned in the copy at the end of the curtain this time, and fused the strength and spirit of the whole body into the knife technique, and there was no trickery, but when he slashed at the shield, it actually made Nashika behind the shield feel irresistible.
Nashika was horrified in his heart, you must know that his strength is already very good, even Sisnatus is not as good as him at this point, but the new Bach may be able to wrestle with him, Zhang Heng should not be as good as him in terms of strength, but he doesn't know why, he obviously has the upper hand in strength, but he doesn't seem to be able to give full play to his advantages at all.
And all this is just the beginning, soon, Zhang Heng's second knife came, followed by the third knife, and the fourth knife............ From beginning to end, Zhang Heng only did one thing.
That's the shield in Nashika's hand.
In addition to barely taking the first sword, Nashika began to can't help but keep retreating, he made a lot of efforts and attempts, and even had to throw away the short sword in his hand, and the other hand also came to help, but no matter what he did, he felt like a small boat in the stormy waves, unable to withstand this terrible pressure at all, and all the struggles were in vain.
Nashika had doubts about even the power she was most proud of.
Until his hands were numb, his legs were weak, he couldn't hold it anymore, and he let go of the shield in his hand, and then he saw a white light flash in front of his eyes, Nashika had decided to close his eyes and wait for death, but in the end, the seemingly irresistible knife suddenly changed from movement to silence, and stopped less than a centimeter in front of his nose.
